The vertical bar chart compares industry gender dominance ratios and includes a horizontal reference line labeled “A W F”. The horizontal axis lists industries from left to right as “Health Care and Social Assistance”, “Education and Training”, “Retail Trade”, “Accommodation and Food Services”, “Administrative and Support Services”, “Rental, Hiring and Real Estate Services”, “Financial and Insurance Services”, “Arts and Recreation Services”, “Other Services”, “Public Administration and Safety”, “Professional, Scientific and Technical Services”, “Information Media and Telecommunications”, “Wholesale Trade”, “Agriculture, Forestry and Fishing”, “Manufacturing”, “Electricity, Gas, Water and Waste Services”, “Transport, Postal and Warehousing”, “Mining”, and “Construction”. The vertical axis ranges from 0.00 to 4.00 with increments of 0.50. Bars are grouped by dominance category, as indicated in the legend. Green patterned bars represent “Female dominant”, orange patterned bars represent “Gender balanced”, blue patterned bars represent “Male dominant”, and a solid red horizontal line represents “A W F” at 0.94. Female-dominant industries show the highest ratios, including “Health Care and Social Assistance” at 3.49, “Education and Training” at 2.65, “Retail Trade” at 1.29, and “Accommodation and Food Services” at 1.18.
